Bernard McFaden (McFadden) from County Tyrone
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2017 4:35 pm
I have recently received my DNA results which have been added to the McFadden Project results page. I am now wondering what I can expect in my genealogy research. On the project lineage page I am grouped in R-M269 Group 6 with one other person. However I do not see that person listed in the results and I am ungrouped in the results. I would assume that if there was someone else in my group who has traced their ancestor back to Ireland then that would be valuable information in locating where my ancestor is from or at least narrow the search area.
My immigrant ancestor is Bernard McFaden (McFadden), b 1826 in County Tyrone. He initially immigrated to Canada and then to the US through Burlington VT, settling in Newton MA. His record of marriage lists his father as Andrew McFaden and his record of death lists Andrew and his mother as Ann Sprout both from Tyrone. I have searched Irish records on Find My Past but have not been able to find anything for Bernard, Andrew or Ann Sprout. It dismay hope that I will someday be able to find out where in Tyrone my paternal roots lie.
Regarding the spelling of my name, on almost all documents that were completed by someone else, the name is spelled McFadden. Interestingly page one of his naturalization document has McFadden but page two has McFaden. All of the entries in the Newton MA city directory consistently list Bernard and all of his sons as McFaden.
